Anti Immigration Party Winning Elections In Norway?

” Exit polls in Norway’s general election suggest the centre-right opposition is on course to win.

Erna Solberg, who heads the Conservative Party, is expected to replace Labour leader Jens Stoltenberg, who has been prime minister since 2005.

Ms Solberg may depend on the support of the anti-immigration Progress Party to form a government.

It was Norway’s first general election since attacks by a far-right extremist killed 77 people in 2011.

Official projections published by Norway’s statistical office after polls closed on Monday evening suggested the centre-right alliance won a majority of the seats in parliament.

As well as the Progress Party, Ms Solberg’s Conservatives are allied with two other, centrist parties.

It is not yet clear whether Ms Solberg will seek to form a majority coalition with the centrist allies, or lead a minority government of the Conservatives and Progress.

Dozens of Labour Party youth activists who survived Anders Behring Breivik’s shooting spree on the island of Utoeya in 2011 were candidates, but the wave of sympathy for the party in the wake of the attacks seems to have evaporated.

“The country is doing well, but that’s thanks to the oil, not to the leaders,” one 29-year-old Progress Party voter told AFP after casting his ballot at Oslo’s City Hall.

“It’s time we changed the government,” he added.

The Progress Party has tried to shake off its association with Breivik, who was once a member but left several years before planning and carrying out his attacks.

The party, led by Siv Jensen, was running third in opinion polls prior to the vote.

But the Conservatives’ Ms Solberg wants to continue Norway’s existing immigration policies and, if they are to form a coalition government, will have to negotiate with Ms Jensen for her to abandon several manifesto promises, says the BBC’s Lars Bevanger in Oslo.”

” The reality, as Cpl. Boston expressed, is that bad people will continue to do bad things by any means available. The gunman at Virginia Tech, which is still the deadliest school shooting in American history, did not use an AR-15 – he used two commonly owned handguns: a 9mm Glock and a .22 caliber Walter P22.

In the end, those who believe we can stop the murderous resolve of deranged individuals via gun bans or regulations should consider what Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian mass murderer who gunned down 69 people at a youth summer camp in 2011, wrote in his 1,500 page manifesto on the subject of gun control:

IF they take away our AN-fertilizer, we will use AN from Ice packs! If they take away our ice packs; we will hi-jack propane trucks and use them as secondary explosive charges! If they take away our propane trucks; we will fight them with conventional weapons! If they ban the sale of weapons; we will smuggle in AK-47s from the Balkans and the Middle East!

They cannot prevent us, the European conservatives from eventually seizing political and military power. We will succeed even if we have to create our very own improvised guns.

Laws won’t stop killers from killing – but a bullet to the head will. ”
